I think you are seeing the backside of a tie-down pocket. The walls of most trailers are pretty thin so they can maximize the inside space. Some trailers have tie-downs inserted flush with the inside wall. Trust me you don't want any protrusions into the cargo space. These are used to secure...
Brad and Bob,
I understand your frustration with NSPE and MSPE. It seems like for the last few years their main concern was with increasing membership. Which means a large amount of their time was spent trying to explain why all the other engineering disciplines should join. I personally...
I almost started another thread on this very topic because it wasn't easy to find. I am glad I did find it. I have already been approved to take my PE exam in Michigan and will do so in October (unless another project sends me overseas again). I joined the NSPE and MSPE several years ago...
Mloew,
I too work in the automotive world. Good project/program management can only come from the top. Unfortunately I have yet to see this in the automotive world. There is way too much micro management. I don't know how many books I've read and experts I have listened to. But the common...
ok, I am curious too. Dhilpert is right on. The P-40 is one of my all time favorites. With the availabilty of turbines these days why do so many of the replica's end up 3/4 scale or even 7/8. Don't get me wrong I understand the operating cost difference I just wish there were more full scale...

My degree is in Aerospace but I am working in Automotive. Unfortunately not in an aero application. But the post was/is for a personal project I am working on.
Thanks,

WOW,
I have to say thanks for all of the input. This Thread is almost 2 years old, I had almost forgotten about it. Obviously winglets are still under investigation. Especilly in the low Reynolds number region.

Looking for 3 view or 3d model of Honda's 6 cylinder motorcycle engines 1520, 1600, or the 1800. I need the outline as well as the Center of gravity and centerline of the output shaft. Any direction would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim
Not very high or low, within 3 in of water (static). We are trying to take measurements in an airhandeling unit for a paint spray booth. The ahu is 17 ft across by about 12 ft high. There are several places in the ahu and the duct work to the spray booth that I would like to get...
I am looking for a remote differential pressure probe that I can get the pressure readings from remotely (RF). And I need to be able to move it from place to place in the system. It would be really nice if it was able to take humidity readings also. I have been searching without much luck so...
Thanks RLJ,
The situation is very hectic and I wasn't very clear. I guess I am asking if anyone has spec't compressors and is there a comparison of a compressor suppling a volume of air at "atmosphere" versus suppling air at pressure? I realize there is an obvious load difference on...
I think we have a units misunderstanding on this project. The process designer says they need 5000liters/sec. This is for a approx. 180 hand tools on an automotive assembly line. I think this number has been normalized and is not 5000liters/sec at 6 bar. Our estimate for this amount of tools...
OK, anyone want to take a stab at the effect on wing lift and drag with the addition of winglets. I am looking for an equation or rule of thumb. I have read Kroo's papers and others. I had seen something at one time that said the winglet could be considered to add half its height to the wing...
When saving a drawing to R14 from Acad2000 with all Xrefs bound it seems that any imbedded block created in 2000 will not display when someone opens the drawing in R14. Short of exploding everything I am not sure what to do. We work in Acad2000 but customer only has R14(GM ha ha ha. Any help...
